Sleight of Hand / Re: A stronger in-between hand
« on: April 01, 2019, 09:56:38 PM »
I have not seen responder's hand so as an excercise I will say what I think each bid is showing in Ken's auction.
1C 1S
2D 5+C, 4+D longer clubs strong 3C 3+ clubs, 4+spades, game force so 8+HCP
3H Tell me more 3NT Didnt bid 3N over 2D so has a shortage. 5314 looks most likely.
??
So I would guess something like at QJxxx, Axx, x, J10xx. So I would reasonbly confidently bid 6C.
Now looking back into jcreech's post I see Partner held QT64, Q86 93 KQJT. Ah yes I see that qxx in hearts is also possible.
So I agree with Ken's suggestion that 3H is the best bid to get you to the correct contract
